| | | BIRTHING FROM WITHIN
Based on the book “Birthing From Within” by Pam England, these classes
offer a unique environment for personal childbirth preparation. Classes
are comprehensive covering many traditional topics such as labor and
birth physiology, risks and benefits of common obstetrical
interventions, self-advocacy, pain coping practices and more. The
difference between a Birthing from Within course and a traditional
childbirth preparation course is that Birthing From Within then
encourages students to dig deeper. Class processes are multi-sensory
and include interactive activities and lively discussion. Women and
their partners are respected for the rite of passage that they are about
to enter as they share birth and new parenthood together. Most
importantly, classes are tailored to meet the individual needs of the
participants.
BIRTHING FROM WITHIN Classes:
VALIDATE - and honor the wisdom that you already posses.
MOTIVATE - you on your journey of self-discovery.
EDUCATE - with practical, research-based information and interactive discussions.
INITIATE - your path to birth and your personal birthing into parenthood.
and
CELEBRATE - you!
You may find more information about the classes on the BIRTHING FROM WITHIN website.
"My husband and I chose to attend Jennifer Whitaker's "Birthing From Within" course. To our delight, she was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining - on more than one occasion acting out an actual birth scenario with the greatest of realism, barring any indecency of course.
Every session was carefully planned out for us with the right atmosphere, along with comfortable padded floor seating arrangements.
Each interactive class left us with greater understanding and confidence in what we were going to experience in the upcoming birth of our first child.
Breathing techniques, pain coping mechanisms, identifying the progression of birthing stages as well as chalk art round out her course to be exceptional.
We definitely recommend Jennifer to our friends and family and those we meet at our Birth Center".
